One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Orangeville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
